FTPAddress Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The FTPAddress property exposes the address of a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server that maintains synchronization images of a Microsoft SQL Server publication.

Syntax

object.FTPAddress [=value ]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that identifies a server enabled for FTP

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetFTPAddress(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetFTPAddress(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Remarks

SQL Server replication can use FTP to transfer synchronization images of publication schema and data. Use the FTPAddress, FTPPort, FTPLogin, and FTPPassword properties to enable use of FTP for synchronization.

Applications should use the MergePublication2 or TransPublication2 objects when setting the FTPAddress property. The FTPAddress property remains a property of the TransPullSubscription and MergePullSubscription objects to maintain backward compatibility.

Note

If an application sets FTPAddresswith the MergePublication2 or TransPublication2 object after the initial snapshot has been created, a new snapshot must be generated. Snapshots are applied when the next scheduled snapshot agent runs.
